However, if you are not, then you probably have no interest in the game and are most likely not reading this. &quot;Ghostbusters&quot; is a solid game whose script, which is penned by Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd,&nbsp;makes it much better than every other&nbsp;solid game.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The concept of Ghostbuster&#39;s gameplay is&nbsp;rather original. with that being said, it can be repetitive at times with much of your time in the game being spent capturing ghosts or shooting at them with your proton pack. initially it&#39;s very fun, but near the end your motivation is not so much&nbsp;game play&nbsp;as it is reaching the next cut scene to hear some funny jokes. The game can still be very intense at times despite its comedic atmosphere, with&nbsp;big&nbsp;set pieces&nbsp;like a times square level and an epic fight with a familiar friend from the first film.&nbsp;It&#39;s unfortunate that&nbsp;the game play is plagued by repetition, but it&nbsp;holds up and entertains for at least one play through.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ghostbuster&#39;s story is its shining accomplishment&nbsp;that makes the game well worth&nbsp;at least one playthrough.&nbsp;Like I said before, it was written by&nbsp;the&nbsp;minds behind the original&nbsp;films which is a great thing.&nbsp;The cut scenes retain that comedic flair that hasn&#39;t been seen since&nbsp;1989. I am sad&nbsp;that Rick Moranis and&nbsp;Sigourney Weaver are absent from this game though.&nbsp;despite these&nbsp;two&nbsp;actors&nbsp;not being in the game,&nbsp;the story will still please any fan of the film.</p> <p>Ghostbusters isn&#39;t a great game and at most is above&nbsp;average. however, the witty story and original game play concept make it worth while for any fan of the series. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>Blog Post: Ghostbusters rock but the multiplayer doesnthttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/b/user_reviews/archive/2010/01/21/ghostbusters-rock-but-the-multiplayer-doesnt.aspxFri, 22 Jan 2010 04:58:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:177224CaptainMorgan098<p>Ghostbusters is a great game to play if you have ever been a fan of the movie.&nbsp;Your teamates are completely useless on hard difficulty though and the epic boss battle with stay-puffed isn&#39;t very epic. the cupid part is a pain in the ass as well but other than that, it is very fun.</p>Forum Post: Ghostbusters PS3http://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/f/1080/p/9534/57995.aspx#57995Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:09:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:57995Astroass34<p>Great game. Although I do not agree with what Game Informer has to say about games most of the time, I more or less agree with this one. The story is wonderful. The visuals are very good, and the voice overs are fantastic. For me, Bill Murray&#39;s performance wasn&#39;t the best one of the Ghostbusters- Ray&#39;s was. Although, the hotel manager is my favorite in the game.you&#39;ll see why when you play it. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>It seems like, especially on a harder difficulty, all you do is revive your dependent teammates. There seems to be more of the ghosts you cannot trap, and you do get bombarded with cheap shots. But all in all, the game is highly addictive and highly entertaining. I gave this game a 9.</p>File: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2697.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2697Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2696.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2696Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2695.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2695Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2694.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2694Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2693.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2693Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2692.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2692Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2691.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2691Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2690.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2690Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2689.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2689Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2688.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2688Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2687.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2687Dan RyckertFile: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/m/ghostbusters_media/2686.aspxMon, 28 Sep 2009 00:23:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:2686Dan RyckertWiki Page: Ghostbusters Guideshttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/w/guides/default.aspxWed, 23 Sep 2009 00:02:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:264adminGroup: Ghostbustershttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/default.aspxWed, 23 Sep 2009 00:02:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:285AnonymousBlog Post: Simplified Controls and Shortened Levels Make this Version Fall Shorthttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/b/wii/archive/2009/09/23/review.aspxWed, 23 Sep 2009 00:02:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:253Ben Reeves<p><a href="http://gameinformer.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00.00.00.10.85/2577.Ghostbusters_5F005F00_The_5F00_Video_5F00_Game_2D00_WiiScreenshots23615Hotel2_5F00_25.jpg"><img src="http://gameinformer.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/610x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00.00.00.10.85/2577.Ghostbusters_5F005F00_The_5F00_Video_5F00_Game_2D00_WiiScreenshots23615Hotel2_5F00_25.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p> <p>The Wii version follows the same general story, but its wacky character models make this look like a wildly different title. The camera lock-on and Wii-exclusive split screen co-op are nice additions, but the simplified combat and truncated levels ultimately leave this game a little flat. The Wii provides a Ghostbusters experience, but it&#39;s not the Real Ghostbusters experience.[Excerpt]</p>Blog Post: Solid Gameplay Brings this Title Above Mere Fan Servicehttp://www.gameinformer.com/games/ghostbusters/b/ps3/archive/2009/09/23/review.aspxWed, 23 Sep 2009 00:02:00 GMT79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:252Ben Reeves<p><a href="http://gameinformer.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00.00.00.10.84/3276.Ghostbusters_5F005F00_The_5F00_Video_5F00_Game_2D00_Xbox_5F00_360Screenshots22548ghost_5F00_18.jpg"><img src="http://gameinformer.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/610x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/00.00.00.10.84/3276.Ghostbusters_5F005F00_The_5F00_Video_5F00_Game_2D00_Xbox_5F00_360Screenshots22548ghost_5F00_18.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p> <p>It was hard to be an adolescent in the &#39;80s and not develop a fondness for these paranormal psychologists. As soon as Ray Parker Jr.&#39;s synthesized theme started with, &#39;&#39;When there&#39;s something strange...&#39;&#39; I couldn&#39;t stop the well of child-like delight that bubbled out of me. As Ray and Egon bantered back and forth, I&#39;d almost forgotten the last two decades ever happened. It really was 1991, and I was hanging out with my childhood idols. This is the ultimate Ghostbuster&#39;s fan festival. </p> <p>The story is a mix of throwbacks to the old films and creative new bits that fit right into the mythos. As the silent new recruit, you follow the team around New York&#39;s most popular haunts. With a governmental oversight committee breathing down their neck and a ghost named Shandor making a muck of the city, it&#39;s no surprise they need the extra hands.[Excerpt]</p> <p><br />As the new blood, you are the Ghostbuster&#39;s guinea pig, testing out all their new equipment. The upshot is that you get a lot of sweet new toys to play with, like the stasis stream, which basically works like a freeze ray. Fans will also recognize the slime blower from the second film, which you&#39;ll use to tether objects in the environment in order to solve many of the game&#39;s puzzles. </p> <p>Tons of great scripted moments help sell this experience. I scaled the side of a building and shot down the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and explored a basement where monsters made entirely out of coal jump out of the furnaces. All the while Ray Stantz freaks out like a dork about paranormal phenomena and Peter Venkman delivers sarcastic one-liners. The repartee from all four original actors sell every minute of the game in which they are onscreen. </p> <p>I only wish as much love and care had gone into crafting the gameplay. The mechanics Terminal Reality developed around capturing ghosts work well; I had fun slamming ghosts against the furniture, wrangling them into traps, and making a mess of any room I stepped into. But I wasn&#39;t always trapping ghosts. You spend a lot of the time shooting down annoying bat-like animators or other pithy creatures that don&#39;t require trapping. The health system feels widely unbalanced as well, and you find yourself on the ground without warning. The other Ghostbusters can resurrect you, but they aren&#39;t any better at dodging these cheap shots than you are, so if you all go down together (and you will) it&#39;s game over. Most of the time it feels like you&#39;re doing all the work, which has the adverse effect of making you feel more powerful than these legendary heroes. </p> <p>If you can put up with these annoyances, the game rewards you with its moody atmosphere and epic encounters. A few multiplayer modes pit you against other players to trap ghosts and survive waves of enemies, but the only real draw is getting to play as the four main Ghostbusters. The real meat of the game is getting to play through the Ghostbusters experience we always dreamed about as kids...a story that could have easily been Ghostbusters III.&shy;</p>
